I think its more like "the sun ate something today"

Is the Sun Okay ?

Well.. For the sun it's always today

No one is asking the real question, is the sun ok? Do we need to go out there and check on the guy.

It went all the way through

"Did not survive the encounter" poor comet. Now I'm feeling all Deep Impact, gonna call into work and spend the day with a cat or something.

This happened in 2011. Sauce: https://youtu.be/omVuuIMVDyI
Rezol
That's not the same one.
rasmis
*also happened
zedd
After watching both several time, I don't think it's the same event.
AwesomeName
Interesting what happens at the other side of the sun even before impact.
cousteau
Sunfart.
Corona688
That's just an ordinary solar flare.
samuelorsaumell
Not really. The two are entirely unrelated.
AwesomeName
Are you sure? I could imagine it being related. Some effect on the magnetic field of the sun perhaps?
lesserknowncharacter
It's super time-lapse. There were probably hours between the solar flare beginning and the impact occurring.
samuelorsaumell
Nope, unrelated. Both events are common enough on their own, and any effects of the comet on the Sun's magnetic field are easily negligible.
JhericFury
Or it could have gone in front or behind, besides doesn't stuff hit the sun all the time? It's huge and had loads of grav pull
Corona688
Compared to the solar system, the sun is a dot.
drfarren
Compared to the solar system, the sun is a doot. (FTFY)
Corona688
So, it's not easy to hit the sun from far away. Anything falling in gets huge acceleration, the slightest miss sends it away again.
JhericFury
Oh, you mean for the "things hitting the sun all the time" thing. Huh, that makes sense
JhericFury
It would also curve a bunch though, right? So it could be traveling into or out of the plane?
Corona688
Sure, it could curve lots. Comets are mostly things which fell into the sun and missed, and have pretty crazy orbits.
remingtongrizzly
Solar flare is like "hello from the other side"
VTCombi
Hello from the otter slide.
imalittledrunk
Do you know if the solar flare is related or coincidental?
dronir
It's totally coincidental. Solar flares are much bigger processes than comets hitting the Sun.
igniteice
Looks like the solar flare happened well before what hit it, well, hit it.
noobwarlock
That was a CME and not a flare. -Space weather forecaster (seriously)

That's perfect! I'm planning to go to space this saturday, what will the space weather be like?

HA! yes...

PolaroidPuffin
And it took less than 24 hours to travel that distance? I'm not sure of the distance but it seems like an incredible speed
Corona688
If it wasn't travelling at incredible speed, it wouldn't be close to the sun.
Shoot4strs
I was about too mention, the speed must be intense.
DJScrambles
373 miles per second according to le nasa
LooseCannonSpock
600 kilometers per second according to le Français
PolaroidPuffin
Is that enough to rips a mans flesh off?
FeastyOwl
It's close to the speed the Milky Way is travelling through the universe. Which is crazy.
DJScrambles
Some chick cut my dong with her teeth while she was giving me a bj in a bar bathroom and I doubt she was moving that fast.

I thought it was a CD or something

That's what they want you to think!
ImanerdDontjudgeme
The disc in the middle blinds out the sun itself that would otherwise overexpose the video.

You all just watch. Soon we'll have a giant space manta ray trying to preserve all life.

Well im not against it.

But dude! What if we are the manta ray?!

Found out, through my wife being pregnant, that women are actually pregnant for 10 months. Ppl usually don't know for the 1st so its skipped

It's dated back to the first day of your last period so the first two weeks or so are pre-conception.

if only you had some magical box that could connect you to umpteen sources of valid information by only typing in a few key words.
OhDavidMyNacho
He literally did just that though.
TakeTheStairs
it connected them to it? seems more like a lazy plea for someone else to do the googling.
OhDavidMyNacho
Someone answered. so yeah. they typed their question into a field online, and received a response.

It's a comet. It didn't quite strike the sun, but vaporized when it got too close. NASA sauce: http://go.nasa.gov/2aLMxIl

Something hit the Sun today.

At 5. Something hit the Sun today at 5.

What timezone?
Rezol
That on the left is a perfectly normal solar flare. They happen all the time. The oject hitting it I guess is just a comet or something.
CaveDan
Not a flare. It's a CME.
Rezol
Yeah yeah. There was probably a flare just before it anyway.

Safe to assume it vaporized well before hitting the sun (RIP Bob Kerman)
Rezol
Well of course. Which is why I advocate sending dangerous waste into it!
rusty6899
Its pretty difficult to send stuff to the sun.
Rezol
If we can safely put fragile robots on mars it's pretty safe to say we can easily hit the sun with no intent of landing softly.
